I'AKIS, Nov. 10. (A. T.) The
French troops in Syria will take the
offensive against tho rebels tomor
row, LaUibcrlc's correspondent de
clares.
A great encircling movement was
under way today, while two regi
ments of cavalry were directly press
ing the forces of the bandit chief,
Bakri. who recently was proclaimed
'president of tho Syrian republic.'
I'Yeneh aviators were bombing tho
insurgents within plain sight of Da
mascus. LONDON', Nov. 10. (A. P.) Ad
lillonal light has been thrown on the
situation in Syria, whero the French
are faced with an Insurrection of
tribesmen, by receipts hero of an un
censored letter from an American ar
riving in Haifa from the troubled
region. '
On October 31, ho .writes, there
were 30,000 Armenian refugees in
Beirut. cVowded into an "unspeak
able" camp, and refugees were arriv
ing from Damascus at the rate or
4000 daily. Tho refugees were shel
lei-cd in houses constructed of oil tins
und the crowding was terrible, a
many ua nine people living in a single
small room cooking, eating, -stooping
In ihis tiny o.uarloi , .
The, iutnitary rra,pgement were
lotiilly Inadequate and water scarce.
Many-of the refugees were, ill with no
medicine und tho children were pale
and sickly. The writer confirms pre
viously published statement! that no
British or Americans had been killed
up to that time.
"The situation Is getting very seri
ous," the letter continues. "The
French will have to bring in a much
larger force before they can conquer
the bandits nnd Druses (tribesmen;)
The Druses have' caused troublo cvor
since tho world was peopled and tho
French cannot conquer them with
30.000 men, which is all they have
there now. They need several times
that number."

NKW YORK, Nov. 10. (A. P.)
Stuck prices collapsed with startling
MinldcsnncHS loduy. The selling, which
embraced practically all groups of
stocks was undoubtedly Inspired by
speculative' fears that the raising of
Uio Bunion fodorul reserve rediscount
rate yosterday would bo followed by
simitar act Urn by tho New York re
mtvc institution, which would have a
tendency to restrict credit facilities
and thereby rostrain speculative oper
ations for the advance in the stock
market.
The market opened one to four
points lower in reflection of this ner
vousness and then milled moderately.
The recovery was not very convincing
however, und shortly after mid -day
bear trudcrs launched a savage attack
against the general list In the short
space of one hour a score or inoro of
recent speculative favorites were car
